Community Conversations One of the ways we build community at USN is through dialogue and an exchange of ideas. Many important topics including politics, arts and sports will be discussed virtually during the Tiger Give Back Challenge Community Conversations.
Over 24 hours, the USN community will come together to support students, faculty, staff, and programs through gifts to the Annual Fund. All gifts made between 9 a.m. Wednesday, March 10 and 9 a.m. Thursday, March 11 will show the collective giving power of the USN community during the Tiger Give Back Challenge.
The focus on “Building Community” has been strong throughout the past year, a reflection of the many ways in which the USN experience has adapted to the ever-changing world. Annual Fund dollars are a critical resource for USN’s evolving needs. Philanthropic giving is essential to supporting people and programs that make USN special.
The majority of gifts will come from PDS and USN alumni during the Tiger Give Back Challenge. Many parents, grandparents, parents of alumni, faculty, and even students also show their support to the school.
Sharing the Tiger Give Back Challenge on your social media accounts is a great way to encourage your friends and family to join the fun and make a gift to USN. You can step up even more and volunteer to make phone calls or send text reminders to potential donors. There are options to volunteer at home or socially distant on campus. Sign up here.
